A fun selection of used vintage postal stamps, featuring various breeds - alsatian, doberman, pekinese, yorkshire terrier etc. You will receive the exact selection of stamps as shown on stock card, from Mongolia, the Philippines, Romania and Sharjah - beautiful stamps ready to be recycled into your craft projects or maybe even preserved in an album.

Vintage varies, ranging from the 1960s through to the 1990s. They are in very good/excellent used condition, sporting varying fragments of postmarks acquired on their travels.

Stamps are off paper, ready for use in your creative projects (not valid for use as actual postage!) and provided loose on a stock card as shown for protection in transit/storage.

I use stamps regularly in my own artwork (see my shop: http://tanglecrafts.etsy.com ). These packets are made up from the excess which do not fit my own projects - a continual process of sorting & filtering, which means new stamps are frequently added into the mix. Just a way to keep these otherwise unloved stamps in circulation!

As a general guide to processing times:
- ready-to-ship items will be despatched within 3 days

- larger custom orders will be proportionally longer

I aim to despatch all orders promptly, but please order in plenty of time if you require something for a specific date. If you are outside of the UK, please err on the side of caution and allow at least a month in addition to processing times listed per item.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Please note, delivery times can be longer at certain times of year (eg Christmas) when general volumes of post are higher.

Unfortunately there can occasionally be unforeseen delays within the various postal services, at any time of year. This is the exception rather than the rule, but please do allow up to a month for overseas delivery, before assuming lost.

Please contact me if you are worried about your delivery.

Can I track my order?

Please note, tracking is NOT included as standard with any order, due to the services offered by the Royal Mail. Proof of Posting is obtained for all items shipped.

For extra peace of mind, a shipping upgrade is available at checkout on most items, for an additional fee.

- Within UK, upgrade option is 1st class Signed-For delivery, which requires signature on delivery, but does not include tracking. Special Delivery (including tracking) can be arranged upon request, but will be subject to an additional £5 charge.

- Outside UK, upgrade option is Tracked & Signed delivery, which includes both tracking and signature on delivery. Tracked-only (signature not required) can be arranged upon request, for the same delivery upgrade cost.

Please contact me if you have not received your order within the expected timeframe (see above). I will be happy to either send a replacement or refund item costs, as necessary.

If your order has arrived but has been damaged in transit, please contact me as soon as you can to explain what has happened. I will request a photo of the damaged item, then each case will be assessed individually. Either a replacement item or partial refund or full refund will be issued, depending upon circumstances and extent of damage.

Please accept my apologies for any errors in item listing! Please contact me with the details as soon as possible following receipt. I may request a photo to confirm where the issue lies.

Other refund/exchange/return queries

If you are simply not happy with your order, for any reason, please contact me before taking any further action. Items may be returned within 30 days, as long as you have first contacted me.
